Reunited

 Reunited 

(A lone voice whispers)

All things might one day die, but not us

For we are timeless beings

Two feverish minds lost in new landscapes of The Great In-Between

Who Love has stubbornly refused to let go

As her friends sit back smiling, watching our incredible picture show

So, will you take my hand for this, our last dance?

While I still breathe and we still have a chance before sunrise?

For as you watch me with dark inescapable eyes 

While Prince sings the Beautiful Ones

I'll take your soft hand and trace the shape of desire upon your sensuous soft skin

To will you to let me in

As I blindfold your eyes while preparing a surprise

And when Darling Nikki finally sings a song filled with Computer Blues

I'll consume you and as you quiver and shiver

I'll hold you tightly 

Skin to skin

And look deeply within your dark eyes and slowly whisper

Beyond this mortal world, filled with darkness and pain 

We are reborn just to be together again 

And as your low echoes fill our candlelit red room 

I'll know then,

I just have to replay the Beautiful Ones 

For a night of explorations of the unknown and the untouched will soon begin 

A Holy Land of dark crucibles of intense pleasure and sweet pain 

As feverish minds in this new domain begin to wildly run 

For love has stubbornly refused to let us go

So while her friends are sitting back smiling, watching our complicated picture show

Will you take my hand for this, our last dance?

While we both breathe, and still have a chance?
